Hackers 'expose global warming con'

One of the world’s leading climate change research centres has been accused of manipulating data on global warming after thousands of private emails and documents were leaked. Hackers targeted the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and published the files, including some personal messages, on the internet. Among the most damaging is one which appears to suggest using a ‘trick’ to massage years of temperature data to ‘hide the decline’.

The CRU, which plays a leading role in compiling UN reports and tracks long-term changes in temperature, has repeatedly refused to provide detailed information about the data underlying the temperature records. It is thought that this could have triggered the theft. Climate change sceptics claim that some of the leaked messages discuss ways of manipulating data that fails to comply with the establishment view that climate change is real and is being driven by man.

The email suggesting ‘hiding the decline’ is purported to be from Phil Jones, the unit’s director. He denied trying to mislead, telling the TGIF digital newspaper he had no idea what he meant by the phrase. ‘That was an email from ten years ago,’ he said. ‘Can you remember the exact context of an email you wrote ten years ago?’Another message has been interpreted as an attempt to control the publication of research carried out by sceptical scientists.

One way of doing this would be by loading the panel of researchers who review papers ahead of publication with experts who are ‘on-message’. Talk of a figure being ‘shoehorned’ into a report from the UN’s International Panel of Climate Change appears in another of the documents. Although the data was stored on the university’s computer system, the email exchanges also involve experts from other institutions around the world. A spokesman for the University of East Anglia said: ‘We are aware that information from a server used for research information in one area of the university has been made available on public websites.

‘Because of the volume of this information we cannot currently confirm that all of this material is genuine. ‘This information has been obtained and published without our permission and we took immediate action to remove the server in question from operation. ‘We are undertaking a thorough internal investigation and we have involved the police in this inquiry.’ The Met Office collaborates with the East Anglia unit on a variety of research projects, including global temperature records.

The cat is out of the bag then, but in a way they were right, because global warming was man-made, just not in the way they were telling us. I do wonder why the mainstream media isn't reporting on this, I do wonder why, there must be a reason..? ££££££

Yeah, I read something about it in the paper today I think.

Not sure what to make of it though.

when some more info on this comes out i'll be more inclined to believe it. I don't trust the daily mail to provide truthful reporting on subjects that they are quite clearly biased one way or the other, even though i personally believe that the threat is overstated.

a search on newsnow comes up with this and another one from the orlando sentinel. and don't ** about 'mainstream media.' DM is quite clearly populist msm. it's an term coined by fox news where they complain about the MSM but then claim they have the highest ratings so...?

When I talk about mainstream media I speak mainly of the BBC, which when it seems they discuss global warming they accept it as fact and never invite anybody onto the program who is sceptical of global warming. It is like on Question Time and when they review the papers, it always seems to be a journalist from the Guardian giving their opinion despite the Guardian being a paper which has low sales figures.

Why would they tamper the data though? Is it for the money?

To peddle the myth that is global warming so the government, climate study groups and the green lobby can continue their stealth taxation to 'combat' global warming. A lot of money is being made out of absolutley nothing. Government, study groups, media and companies which make wind turbines are making a heck of a lot of money out of it, our money.

yeah i would imagine there's a bit of back-handing. i bet there's a bit of money to be made building wind farms.

In a simplified nutshell, what is all of this saying?

In a simplified nutshell, what is all of this saying?

That global warming doesn't exist.

The daily mail is famous for lying. So I don't believe this yet.
